Not helpful. Nor true. :-) Not even true in this case.
I.e., it's pointless to write a big spec that's missing a piece that
can't be filled in because the language doesn't support it. What I'm
trying to figure out is whether the language supports it in an unobvious
way, since it seems very strange to me that it wouldn't.
